Calculations: (Show one calculation of each AND make a calculation table.)
Circumference
Velocity
Centripetal Force
F=m(stopper)v^2/r (experimental value)
Force of Weight
F = m(washers)g (true value)
% error
TV-EV/TV x 100 = % error
Questions
1. Draw the force diagrams for the stopper/string system.
2. Draw the force diagram for the string/washers system.
3. How would this apply to an amusement park ride?
Conclusion
1. Restate purpose
2. List results (general) (Does F(cent) = F(weight)?
3. Analysis - Prove it! (Discuss data, graphs, etc)
4. Errors - If it didn't - why?
